-------------------------------------------------------------

Im going to end this entry by posting a song i did on the song "Until The End of Time" :) The first time i heard this song was during my vacation in Manila last august at a bar, while waiting for another band to come on stage. During the interval, the bar played some videos and Justin Timberlake's video of this song (the one with him on the piano at one of his concerts) came on. I fell in love with this song that instant..

I can see the storm approaching. As with any storm, it brings with it destruction, but also waters the fields; and with the rain, falls the wisdom of the heavens. As with any storm, it will pass. The more violent the storm. the more quickly it will pass.

I have, thank God, learn to face storms.

-- Paulo Coelho from "Like The Flowing River"

I love books. Ive always been reading since like.. forever! My dad used to read me books when i couldnt read yet and when we were at the mall (while still in the US) i never fail to get me one of those Disney books. When we went back to KK, my parents will drop us off at the State library in KK every friday. Me and my siblings would borrow 3-5 books each to bring home and the house would be eerily silent at most time during the holidays because all of us will be in our rooms, busying ourselves with the books that we got from the library. I have carried the habit of reading until now. Paulo Coelho is one of my favourite writers of all time and this book, Like The Flowing River is an inspiring book. When i have a daughter someday, i am going to pass the book down to her

Im gonna admit something here. Although i've had the e-books of Stephenie Meyer's highly acclaimed 'Twilight' for some time i havent seen the movie yet. Atleast until last night :D I wanted to watch The Amazing Race on AXN but my parents wanted to watch something else instead: The Academy Awards*sigh*. Ive got more than one telly at home but the thing is, only telly is subscribed to Astro. So i went to my room and decided to watch Twilight! (thanks Angel mandaakkk!!) OMG! i am so in love with Edward Cullen!!

Me is gaga over edward cullen

Since i read the book before watching the movie, i was quite dissapointed because there were alot of details that they didnt put in the movie. I just hope they wont do the same for New Moon. There's this one part in New Moon that i almost cried.. i wont say which part though :P read the book and you'll know which part im talking about hehe. Oh by the way Summit Entertainment confirmed to Access Hollywoodthat NeWMOon is due this November 20th (i cant wait!!) and EcLipSe, June 30th 2010.

I'm at work and it's the time of the month again. yes, im talking about the RED SPILL. If having your private part bleeding is not enough, imagine having stomach cramps and diarrhea all at the same time. This is what im painfully experiencing right now. Nasty, i tell you.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, guess what? I've started a food diary today. A food diary is basically a diary that you write down whatever food that you take in so that you can keep track on what you're consuming for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and also thee snacks that you take in between meals. But you can't cheat! So basically you have to list down EVERYTHING you've eaten the whole day everyday. I really want to lose some pounds by May. Why? because im going on a vacation in June. Yeayyy!!! I dont want to look like someone who just came back from a vacation when i havent even gone for my vacation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you guys watch AI8 last night? omg! the girls were horrible!! When Danny Gokey went onstage with the 'Hero' song i was wondering whether he can pull it off, and he did!!! what a performance! I also like Anoop's performance. That indian boy sure can sing. The other guy who sang "A Song For You" totally ruined the song with his own twist. One person who amazed me was Tatiana Del Toro. I mean, her performance was okaaayy lah but seriously i didnt expect her to perform up to that level on a Whitney song. But she's inconsistent and a show off. Something must went off in her brain last night, she wasn't behaving her own show-offy self on tv. Anyhoo.. my prediction on who's going to make it through tonight are 1. Anoop Desai 2. Danny Gokey 3. Tatiana Del Toro/ Ricky Braddy/ Michael Sarver -- It's a tie between those three because Tatiana's performance was pretty ok compared to the other girls, Ricky - he got good comments from the judges, Michael - he's a good honest guy, and he's got a good soulful voice although last night he didnt show it.

Frankly, i dont really care about the rest i only want Anoop and Danny to get through tonight!!!♥ P.

I used the public toilet of Centre Point today. euuuwwww!!! All because the place that i work suddenly had no water *sigh*.. I was actually walking aimlessly around Popular (i've got no lectures for the whhhoooollllleeee day! woohoo!!) when suddenly i had the urge to pee. So i rushed to the public toilet at Palm Square

..and guess what?.

.

..There's no water supply juga..and I had to TOUCH the walls of the cubicle (because i wanted to get on the seats -- iNevErsit in public toilets) euww, and when i wanted to wash my hands (i didnt know there wasnt any water that time.. only when i wanted to wash my hands the makcik there said "tiada air..sampai petang") i saw puke in the sink. Nasty. DOUBLE EUW!! That's the last time im going in KK's public toilet.

p.s - okay, maybe it wasnt as aimlessly as i thought roaming around Popular would be. I saw the book NewMoOn and i bought it that instant. Ive been wanting to have the hardcopy of the books and i've got one now yeayyy.. three more books to hunt! :)

p.s.s - i think i mentioned in one of my past posts that ive got the complete twilight saga e-books. I love e-books but it's hard to read an e-book when you're not in a sitting positin, no? i like to lie on my bed and read my book without caring anything in the world, just so you guys know :) see how nerdy i can get sometimes.

This is my 3rd post of the day. Wow, it's been a while since ive been this enthusiastic on blogging hahaha. Alrighty, im gonna shut up right now. I'll save some for tomorrow hehe. Do watch American Idol Tonight, ya pipoll!!!

I am a whiner. big time.. and right now, i feel like whining on how fat i feel. I was whining about the same thing im whining now on monday and my mom and sister was telling me that im not that fat. My frame is big. No matter how skinny i get, i still will be big because im a BigGirL. Of course they wont tell you you're fat because they're family..and they see you like, all the time. I suppose im not really fat but i just feel like it.

I remember when i was actually bigger than myself now and lost a whole bunch of weight. How on earth did i do that???? Maybe i was motivated. Or maybe it's easier to lose weight when you're bigger? I dont know.

I just need motivation. I am positive i can untightened my clothes back (before june) hahahaha..

I'm super excited for tonight. Why? because of American Idol Season 8 (AI8) lah! They've selected the top 36 and guess what? 4 out of my top 5 men of my likings are in the top 36. Im sad that Jamar Rogers didnt make it to th really think Jamar Rogers should be in. He deserve it more than some of the contestants. *cough..cough.. tatyana del toro..cough..cough* I hope she gets booted out first! while still on the AI8 topic, there is one contestant who is growing on me.. the contestant is Matt Giraud. I did some research on him and guess what? he has two independent albums under his belt.. they're religious Both he and Danny Gokey reminds me of AI past contestant Elliott Yamin. By the way Elliott Yamin's got an album coming out in May (if im not mistaken) i've heard his song Fight For Love and i absolutely love it!! can't wait for the whole album to come out. If you missed Hollywood Week, here is Matt's audition clip of the song "Georgia on My Mind" check out 0:11 seconds.. just heavenly.

I wont talk much nonsense in this post, just updating you guys on what ive been up to, where i've been ..etc. A few weeks ago, me and my singing group Witness Wide went to Poturidong and the people of Poturidong church was so nice enough to give us a potluck. I must say, the food there was so good. Nothing beats kampung food.

Just look at the picture above, we've got our hands full. There was a lot of food prepared and hence the name 'geng tapau' was born heheh. (photo was grabbed from Beevy's facebook picture album :-D)

Two weeks ago, my grand-uncle and grand-aunty from the States came home to Sabah for a visit. My grand-aunty brought along this one of a kind t-shirt that has 3 arm holes instead of 2! hahaha..

My cousin got married a week ago (yea, a WEEK ago) and sorry bout the delay on this but i was so busy!!! ok, you all must be like, "wedding? so what?" why am i making a big deal about this? it's because this is my first time attending the acara berinai. i had so much fun.. although we did got stared a bit because almost everyone there was wearing baju kurung or baju kebaya or something in that line, while we wore jeans and tshirts hahaha.. i didnt asked my cousins, but im pretty sure it was their first time attending an acara berinai too coz they were wearing the same thing as i was.The two girls are Erin and Roxanne, who are most known as Rin on the Rox on Youtube. Nope, they are not twins they're just bestfriends who happens to love music. Both are Philipino, but as for Roxanne she's Philipino and White. Just click on their picture above to go to their youtube channel. I bet you're gonna go back for more :-)

Since Valentine's Day is coming up, i've been thinking yesterday morning during breakfast (my breakfast lasted an hour as a result of much thinking) and i realize, this is the first time in years where i don't have any boyfriend or crushes to look forward to being brought out, get presents.. the works. And you know what? i dont feel left out or anything, infact i never felt better.

Maybe im just out of love? could be. At this moment, i dont have any crushes towards anyone. Im not changing preference, im still attracted to guys very much. i love guys. I just am not attracted to any guy at the moment.

Ok, there may be times when i feel lonely but I don't want my life to be defined by a man. I want to stand on my two feet. Im not trying to deliver the message that i don't need a man in my life coz I do need a man but i dont want to depend everything on him. I don't want to wake up one day and realize that im no good without him.

Saying the above, you might ask what am i going to do on valentines day? there are two options: 1. stay home and continue on with my movie marathons/ tv series marathon or 2. go out and chill out with friends ( the single ones, that is. but the thing is, i dont have many single friends)

..Why? because i just keep on taking food in. I do exercise, but whats the good in exercise if i dont change my eating habits, right?

If i keep up with this, in a month or two i will have to get me a new wardrobe. I have bought me more than enough clothes that could last for two or three years and im beginning to see the damage ive done to my body.

I mean, i dont wish to be stick thin or anything. I love my curves. I just dont want anything unnecessary hanging out and showing (i.e. the bra over hang).. i just want to fit my clothes better :-)

I have been wanting to get me a new pair of jeans and you know what? i'd like to try on a pair of skinny jeans coz i never had one nor tried one before. Yea, im a skinny jeans virgin. But i got big calves and that's what been holding me back on trying. But who knows right? maybe i'll rock the look.. but If i dont, i can always run back to my M593s. right?

I love heels. Heels help me to look a bit taller.. since im only like, 154cm (im vertically challenged!) i freaking NEEED them. Whoever invented heels had one hell of a great mind. Here are 5 reasons why women love heels that i got from shoes.about.com i think every high heel wearing person will agree on this..

1) High Heels Make You TallerVertically challenged women everywhere will tell you how they love their heels. But, even if you don't need extra height, having it can make you feel good. It's truly a heady feeling to slip on a pair of shoes and instantly be 3 or 4 inches taller, and reaching things on the top shelf, well, it's a high like no other.

2) High Heels Don't Make You Look FatUnlike skinny jeans, cropped leggings, or whatever other torturous styles are appearing on the runways, high heels won't make you look fat. Granted, some styles are more flattering than others, but as a general rule, heels are more slimming than flats.

3) High Heels Can Make an OutfitEven a pair of jeans and a t-shirt can take on an entirely different look when a pair of heels is added, and nothing can make a plain skirt pop like the perfect pair of pumps or sandals. Heels add a feminine touch to suits as well.

4) High Heels Make You Feel (and Look!) SexyJust putting on a pair of sexy high heels can make you feel sexier, but they also can make you look sexier. High heels change our body stance, making our calf muscles more pronounced, and forcing our butts and chests out -- it's nearly as if high heels force us into better posture ... and good posture is always sexy.

5) High Heels Don't Have to Cost a FortuneWhile it's easy to spend a fortune on high heels, even inexpensive brands can look great. In fact, there are few things that can cost as little and make you feel quite as happy, as a pair of killer heels.

2. Nancy gave me this award (thanks nc!!) how do i know nc? well, she's my colleague.. she sits one table away from me. She's cute, pretty but taken and soon to be married (bila tu ahh nc? hehe.. ). She's a good friend, i know i wont regret to know her as a friend in my life. ever! :-D

3. 5 facts about me:(i) I love food. Especially anything with cheese on it! yum!(ii) I hate exercising but i have to.. if i dont, imagine how'd i look like! im already been categorized as obese (according to MarieFrance Bodyline)(iii) Im attracted to people with talent (but not weird talents k?) and people who carries themselves well(iv) Im scared of clowns (blame it on stephen king's IT scary movie)(v) My span of interest doesnt last long. I can get all hyped up about one thing in a second and fall out of it just as fast.

Anyhoo, while i was chatting and surfing on a saturday nite i put my mp3 player on shuffled and i came upon this song: Siti Nurhaliza - Sekian Lama. I didnt even know i got this song hahahaha. You know what, this song is actually good. no, make that VERY GOOD! and its been on repeat mode for an hour already.

The lyrics were penned very well.. It's like they wrote this song based on my love story. yes, i may be brave to sing and post it on youtube for the whole wide world to see but inside im just a scared little girl when it comes to the love department. Ive had my share of heartbreaks in the past. There was one time where i felt so confident to the point of making the first move on this guy. I told the guy (who i was so madly in love -- i guess you can call it love.. i waited for him for 2 years and i did everything in my power for him. Pathetic right? i know..) my feelings to only get turned down by him. We were so close, i really was convinced that we were heading the same direction. I still don't know where or what wrong have i done to him, it remains a mystery. There's a movie entitled "he's just not that into you" coming out soonand maybe he's just not into me

And NOW, year 2009 i find myself back in the same situation.. but only with a different person. After having that kind of experience of being rejected -- i hate this word, so harsh!. i dont think im ever going to make the first move. Ive learned that life isn't some korean or indonesian drama -- Life isn't fiction. Atleast not for me. Sorry if this post is a bit gloomy.. but i cant help it! the song really speaks my heart out.
